So the politics are disturbing? Hello, the book is about how you turn small children into military geniuses, the whole premise is disturbing! And a fantastic read! I am not going to stop reading an author just because I don't like his/her politics, I'd miss out on a lot of great literature!

Actually, I didn't like Ender's Game all that much. Not because of what Erin said about the premise, but because I felt the ending was too predictable. Though it was a good read.

I did like Starship Troopers (the movie, haven't read the book), even though I don't approve of Heinlein's militaristic viewpoint.

Larry, I'm so dissappointed in you.

You "liked" Starship Troopers!?! That was one of the worst f***ing movie ever!

Ground troops fighting giant bugs!? No tanks or aircraft?

And you think you know someone...
